earthsea

Welcome to a blog which is not dedicated to the Earthsea stories - but I am a bit inspired by some favorite English texts. This is also maybe why I like writing in this awsome and cumbersome language. For a while at least. Although it would be easier for most of my few readers with just plain Swedish, wouldn't it.

Chol-Chol February 2001We got off the bus in this little sleepy town, coming from Temuco, the cultural capital of the Mapuches. Our guidebook mentioned a museum in this town but no-one we asked had heard about it.

At last we found the modest local museum right across the street when we returned to the bus stop. There the traditional ways and handicrafts of the Mapuches were shown, and a ruca, a traditional sedge-house, was re-created.
